I am revamping the site using the new website content management features of Movable Type 5. Blog listings are on the right.
I have just added an experimental page containing an embedded GoogleWave. The possibility of embedding a Google Wave in a website page caught my eye in a tweet on Twitter, and I was finally able to make it work using documentation from Google Labs on the API. See http://code.google.com/apis/wave/embed/guide.html. One might ask why it makes sense to add a Google Wave to a blog, when the blog can perfectly well mediate an exchange of views through posts and comments. I think the Wave holds promise for two reasons: One it creates unparalleled flexibility in terms of who responds to what (although there are obviously some risks to this). Two, in my limited experience, GoogleWave offers unparalleled flexibility in terms of adding, sharing, and exchanging media. It is my hope that people will use and not abuse this power.
